*The heroine: Believable. Endearing. Always strong, and it was wonderful watching the way she grew to believe it.

*Other characters: Jack--despite his thieving ways, it was impossible not to love him. Gothel--the perfect villian...so easy to hate. Multiple minor characters that I adored.

*The art: Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.

(Just a taste.)

*Miscellaneous:1.) Unsurprisingly, finding out Rapunzel's birth name warmed my heart.2.) This book was from the library, but I definitely want to buy it for Gray for Christmas!3.) Definitely a feel-good, but not saccharine sweet story.4.) I've loved every book I've read by Shannon Hale, so why haven't I read more?!!

Wow, you are cranking out the reviews! I've heard nothing but good things about this graphic novel and Shannon Hale is just a dear. I've enjoyed everything I've read by her, as has Mary. I think Mary's read everything she's written with the exception of this. I need to pop on over to her blog, its been forever but I always enjoy her posts.I'll be looking to add this to my library holds list Debi!
